That's not how the event works, but it's impossible for our server to do it anyway so it doesn't matter.

That's not true at all. Stop telling lies. Even if you were to claim that you tested it and nothing happened, that is nonsense. Everyone who took the time got the drops. While it may not be something we can complete (I think it may be asking for LV40 mobs to be killed), we can still get EXP drops.

Look at this picture. I picked up 58 (I used one to test it) of these Pages of the Oracle Vol.2. I was talking to people who picked up 80+ of these.

So if you didn't get anything from this quest it is because you just sat on your ass and didn't test out anything in closed beta. Need I remind you what you are supposed to do in a Closed Beta? I saw at least 50 players in Sea of Oblivion in 6-man parties killing mobs for these drops tonight.

At least the OP that started this thread was smart enough to ask for help. You just flat out tried to get him to trash his quest. I hope you aren't in CB because knight566 could easily use your spot instead. He's actually testing out the game in Chinese because he doesn't have a CB invite.

OP, you should try killing mobs that are white named or higher. At least within a 4 level difference from the highest person in the party. We were all around lv29 and killing lv26-lv30 mobs and covering a spawn area of three groups of mobs. After a while we quit because we got bored and called it. I don't think you can really complete the quest until you hit lv40 or something, but you CAN still get the drops. They aren't 100%, so just keep killing and you'll get them.

It's best to do it in a group. That always helps you stay alive. At some points, the Protector and myself on a bard were herding groups of monsters and people would take turns using their XP skills for massive AoE Death. I don't know if it was too helpful, but we got some good entertainment out of that.

It just seems that you, along with everyone else, don't know how this event works so I'll take the time to explain it.

It's a server-wide event. For the time it's up, mobs drop those pages, for all mobs above level 4 (so level 5s can pick up the scrolls from level 5 mobs, best drop rates for white names and above obviously), even in instances. When enough of them drop (we didn't get enough) for everyone on the server, then there's a world message and you move onto stage 2 which is killing stuff in Sea of Oblivion. After that you kill mobs in the level 40 map, and after that it's the level 50 map. Finally the twin bosses spawn, they're both over level 50 and harder than world bosses of the same level (apparently). Kill them and the event is done.

We didn't even get enough drops to complete the first part of the event. The insignificant exp you get from the scrolls is not the event. The event is scaled for normal server population, due to our CB being restricted, we don't even have enough people active in killing stuff to get past the first stage, nor can we visit the 40 map, nor can we visit the 50 map, nor could we even down either of the bosses. It's an event aimed at the high level players. We can not complete the event, thus it does not matter.
